A spreadsheet for candidates to track information about VAPs or similar fellowships (for example, the Climenko and Bigelow) for the 2026-2027 hiring cycle is now available. In the spreadsheet, you can enter information regarding screeners, callbacks, offers, and so forth. You can also write more general comments.
The tabs on the spreadsheet marked “Comments” and “Q&A” will, I hope, serve as substitutes for comment threads. If people have questions about the process, please post them on the Q&A tab, and everyone — including current professors and fellows — please chime in and answer!
Anyone can edit the spreadsheet; I will not be generally editing it or monitoring it.
Here is last year’s spreadsheet.
